Basic Trope: A raccoon is portrayed as a trickster and/or thief.

Straight: [[FunnyAnimal Robbie]] [[AlliterativeName the Raccoon]] is a ConArtist or burglar.

Exaggerated:
* Robbie is portrayed as an outright villain.
* Robbie steals anything and everything he sees.
* [[AlwaysChaoticEvil All raccoons in the story]] are portrayed this way.

Downplayed: Robbie can be mischievous at times and may even steal on occasion, but is ultimately a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.

Justified:
* Robbie is poor, and stealing what he needs is one of the few ways he can get by in the world.
* Robbie has kleptomania.

Subverted: Although Robbie may pretend to be rascally on occasion, it's all just an act.

Double Subverted: Robbie ends up BecomingTheMask (in a fairly literal sense).

Parodied:

Deconstructed: Raccoons are often subject to [[FantasticRacism prejudice]] due to this stereotype.

Reconstructed:

Zig Zagged:
* Some raccoons fall into this trope, others don't.
* Robbie is in a HeelFaceRevolvingDoor.

Averted:
* There are no raccoons in the story.
* Robbie does not act mischievous at all.

Lampshaded:

Discussed:

Conversed: "Why are raccoons always portrayed as thieves in cartoons?"

Invoked:

Exploited:

Defied: Robbie knows that [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre he is better than the stereotypes of raccoons]], and decides not to follow them.

Enforced: The creator of the story thinks that raccoons are fit for the role of a mischievous thief, considering their intelligence, nocturnal nature, and mask-like facial markings.

Implied:

Played For Laughs: Robbie tries to steal the moon, or something similar.

Played For Drama: Robbie's kleptomania lands him in trouble with the law.
